Garrick and his wife were particularly sympathetic to those who had venereal disease and made many appeals to supporters on behalf of the Lock Hospital. After his death, his wife remained a loyal supporter of the Lock Hospital and became a benefactor of the Lock Asylum for Women. Linda E. Merians, “The London Lock Hospital and the Lock Asylum for Women,” The Secret Malady, 135."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07602898035266203261noreply@blogger.com
